Relative stability of the contributing structures is : (I) CH₂=CH–C(=O)–H (neutral structure) (II) ⁺CH₂–CH=C(H)–O⁻ (III) ⁻CH₂–CH=C(H)–O⁺ (charge-separated, with a positive charge on oxygen)

Answer: (B)

Solution

Neutral structures are more stable than charged ones, so I is the most stable. Between the charged structures, a positive charge on
